Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

I think pre-market and after hours just needs to be supported by your broker. IG advertise that they have 70 US stocks available marked as "All sessions" that can be traded.

If you (carefully) use CFDs instead of owning the stock you get longer hours anyway.

Can someone explain the pre-market and after hours US shares seem to have please? I noticed I cannot trade in such hours, so is it only the large institutions that trade in the pre and after hours?
I noticed Corsair hit $29.90 this morning in pre hours and from watching the pre hours and after hours on this share before they seem to somewhat reflect actual trading hours a little.

Does that help?

Pfizer Covid 19 vaccine 90% effective... market rallying on news.

Trig · 9 Nov 2020 at 12:21

Noooo, I wanted to know who was making this vaccine a week or so ago when it was announced that something was coming...

More hype from big pharma.

sanaxe1 · 9 Nov 2020 at 12:47

Rolls Royce up 36%

BennyC · 9 Nov 2020 at 12:52

Can't see this changing fundamentals that testing will need to continue for at least the next few years.

Still lots of hurdles in getting the vaccine approved, produced and administered ( to those willing) and long term effectiveness yet to be determined.

Too much optimism and hype this morning. Wouldn't be surprised if we see this happen once more.

Going to fun day on the market for those that were holding shares previously hit by COVID. Carnival, Cineworld, Airines etc.. Possibly not so good for some of the tech stocks.

The joys of day trading, you can get in and out pretty quickly as prices go up, then people come to their senses and dump it..

DanTheMan · 9 Nov 2020 at 12:55

Oh how me and my wife laughed when one of her customers put £100k into Cineworld last week.

Currently up 58%

It's borderline fraudulent IMO. The big pharma companies have been doing this since the pandemic began, every month pretty much without fail they've come out hyping up promising results which turn out to be nothing. This particular study is based upon 94 volunteers. They don't know whether there will be lasting protection, it's still in phase 3, and if approved you need two doses.

Sounds like poop to me. But the markets will rally and won't come back down, because... 2020.

The BBC article states the vaccine has been given to 43,500 people...unless I've read it wrong

43,000 volunteers immunised, 9 out of 10 went on to develop symptoms, 94 of those received the placebo - they've concluded 90% effectiveness. *BBC news interview.

Didn't really make sense...

Don't we already know there is no long lasting protection given that some people have infected multiple times and one even died from the second infection. Just enjoy playing on the markets.

Anyone benefit from the IAG rise? Seems to have stabalised at around 133p, it rose to 147p this morning. I got AFC energy at 18.2p last week, going to hold onto those for the long term though.

I was still in on Whitbread, was down a fair amount (not sure how much this morning) and up 10% already.
